You do know the season doesn't finish this month? There's 15 games left and derby are 1 point from safety...If he went there and didn't keep them up then it would be a FAILURE.

 

 

Oh. Silly me. I thought it ended Feb 28th, unless it's a leap year.

You'd hope this would be a wake up call to Waggott/Suhail, but sure they'll only see it as chance to get some money in to pad out accounts for season.

It's all part of the plan actually.

Swag is there to legitimise and soften the gradual process of asset stripping Blackburn Rovers football club.

No point really saying anything unless it happens, but you wouldn't blame him and if he does go to Derby it might actually open the eyes of some of the happy clappers. At most clubs such circumstances would invoke stadium wide protests but we all know that won't happen now. 

Eustace may have added some much needed chemotherapy but the cancer is still there, if he leaves I honestly don't know what the next steps are. 

For all the talk some folks say about the owners keeping the club going they currently offer NOTHING that we couldn't do under fan ownership - if anything, their presence actually hampers our ability to operate within our own means. 

Waggott out, Pasha out, Venkys out, in whichever order you choose.

venkys appear to have lost all interest and have given control of the club to swag,who is busy trousering a lot of money for himself,pasha the teaboy is supposed to report to venkys but i bet he`s on the take as well,i put the clubs current condition completely down to them,i doubt if venkys even know or care who our current manager is or was!!!they`ve completely withdrawn,leaving maggot to plunder

[den]

If he’s ambitious I would advise him to move on. Ambition disappeared from these owners a number of seasons ago.

I mean they signed Langas for about 4m in the window along with a striker and a few more, it's more than we fucking spent!

Yeah no debate we have worse owners, and that was the Cashin money that got spent, looking at their squad there isn't many more big assets that I can see 

Plus I presume whoever is head coach there has minimal say in recruitment like here?Otherwise total madness to not make the change of manager before they spent that money .

My argument isn't that we have better owners or we spend more money ,just My opinion he would have more attractive job opportunities if he waited till summer even when our season comes to nothing.

Big  risk going to Derby with the position they find themselves, and he doesn't have a scorer like Sammie there

Also keeping Derby up is a harder task than keeping us up last season.

After 31 games last season, we were on 37 pts and stayed up by skin of our teeth. Derby are on 29.

If Eustace goes it speaks volumes of Waggott/Suhail and how club is being run. 

[Danny O.Brien]

His stock is at an all time high. Id expect him to leave but surely he could hang on and get a better job. Let's face facts though they've a bigger fan base, new stadium and if their owner backed him they could definitely take a crack at the play offs next season.

[islander200]

Nixon saying the compensation for Eustace is 750k 

He doesn't think Derby will pay it

Your words "He'll be expected to go down" if he joined derby...

I'll repeat, they are 1 point of safety and there's 15 games left...How the F*ck will he be expected to go down? If they go down that will be deemed as a complete failure.

Think you need your head checking sir.

[scotchrover]

Sorry, but I don’t buy him going, for the following reasons: 
 

1) We’re sat in the top 6 and not a relegation place. Even if Venky’s and Waggot are terrible, we’re still in with a shout of going up. Does he really want a relegation scrap?

2) Derby haven’t a pot to piss in. My mate’s a Derby fan who’s said their owner’s no money to spend on players. He purchased it to literally save the club from going to the wall. 

3) Derby sacked their manager after week of training and the closure of the transfer window. To me, that stinks of Birmingham. 
 

4) He’s stuck with that dross that Paul Warne’s bought, with there being no window, if he goes. Even if he’s not entirely with happy with the squad here, some of them will be his squad. 

If he’s going, it’ll be summer.

This forum’s “friend”, Mr Nixon, has just posted a link to an article headlined, “Blackburn will ask for  full fee on Eustace if Derby come calling”.

See this is where a normal Club would  tell the enquiring Club to do one rather than be obssessed with how much compensation they could squeeze out of it.

[unleaded]

750 k is peanuts & Derby have sold a player for 9 million few days back … Think this is done deal ….Waggot will be going through his little black book to find the next mug …….only a matter of time he runs out of luck and actually finds a mug !! Billionaire owners good grief !!  

[Ianrally]

I can’t wait for the day when the players wages don’t get paid. Then the EFL will have to get involved. Expecting ex players or the local MP to raise their heads above the parapet ain’t going to happen, their all to frightened of upsetting folk. 
When you look at Waggott etc. it is sickening to realise that North West Counties clubs are run on a far better footing than the Ewood shit show, and those clubs are administerd by amateurs.

Leave it out. Mowbray was revered for getting relegated from a better position than Derby are in right now.

I’m worried now. This really could be the beginning of the end of this once great club, total humiliation and evidence of what the Indians and their local guardians / stooges have done to us.

Losing seven on the bounce suggests to me they are in freefall and aren't very good at football and don't have very good football players. 

I'll check my head. You check the form guide.

[rovers11]

We're a shambles of a club so Eustace will leave sooner or later. He probably will join Derby which says everything about the current state of the club.

Looks like my mole was correct (see title post). He’ll be in charge tomorrow but could have gone by the time of the West Brom game on Wednesday. 

Didn't someone suggest a few weeks ago that Eustace wanted to quit in the Summer?

We were further adrift than Derby are now - 3 points away from 21st and 6 points from 20th. 

I'm not Mowbray's biggest fan but he got 22 points from 15 that season. If Eustace gets that then Derby stay up comfortably.

[Andy]

I've said this before, but JE's agent is putting some effort in - and has been for a number of months now.

Linked with every single vacancy in the Championship, details such as quoted compensation fee being leaked.

And they won't be doing this without being given the instruction by JE.

Seemingly very clear that he's looking to jump at the first opportunity.
The players aren't stupid either, they'll know this - and I'd suggest that it's no coincidence that results have taken a turn as a result (also see Dahl Tomasson, J).

[superniko]

Interesting to hear Eustace come out and talk about the current risky player contract situation with a lot of 1st teamers out of contract in less than 18 months.

Starting to sound a little like JDT at the end of tenure, but less blunt pointing a blatant finger at Pasha and Waggot.

As always, the club is being sabotaged by the very people running the show.
